Adj ournmen t CITY of ANDOVER REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - NOVEMBER 5, 1985 m NUTES The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Mayor Jerry Windschitl on November 5, 1985, 7:30 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Councilmen present: Elling, Knight, Lachinski, Orttel Councilmen absent: None Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins; City Engineer/ Administrator, James Schrantz; Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman, Oon Jacobson AGENDA APPROVAL The following additions were suggested for the Agenda: Item 4h, Water System Improvements/Telemetering Systems; 4i, Survey Requirement/Building Permits; 4j, Change Order/Sipe/Sewer and Water; 4k, Creekridge Plat; 41, Water Billing Procedure; 5a, Coon Creek Watershed/Meeting on Permit Procedures; 4m, Cold Storage Building; and 6a, Personnel items of City Clerk/Treasurer Job Description, Emergency Office Closing, and Summer Employment. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, to approve the Agenda as amended. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Lachinski) Vote. ROGER JUNGLEN LOT SPLIT, CONTINUED Roger Junglen - asked to continue this to the next meeting until his Attorney has had a chance to gather all the documents. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, to table this item. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Lachinski) Vote. ROSE BENIGNI LOT SPLIT Chairman Jacobson reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the lot split request of Rose Benigni. Susan Fanunci - stated she is in favor of the request. Council discussion was the park dedication fee would be on the split-off parcel only, and not on the large parcel at this time. The larger parcel would pay its share of park dedication at such time as it would be subdivided further. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by lachinski, that we approve the Lot Split for Rose Benigni subject to the appropriate park dedication fee of $100. (See Resolution R135-85) Motion carried unanimously. RICHARD SZYPLINSKI SPECIAL USE PERMIT Chairman Jacobson stated he talked with Molly Comeau of the DNR, who verbally agreed with the special use permit request for a dock on the RumR'irver provided it is a seasona I dock. The Commission is recommending approval of the request, noting the DNR has 30 days to comment on the request. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Orttel, that we approve the Special Use Permit for Richard Szyplinski to build a seasonal dock on the Rum River at the property described as PIN 19 21 24 22 0005. (See Resolution R136-85) ~10tion carried unanimously. Regular City Council Meeting November 5, 1985 - Minutes Page 2 WALLACE CHIPMAN LOT SPLIT Chairman Jacobson stated it is in the R-1 zone and thereq~eStdoes not meet the R-1 zoning minimum requirements nor the 60 percént requirement. However, Mr. Chipman originally purchased two lots on a contract for deed. Prior to the final payment of that deed, the original owner combined the two lots. It is not known why that was done, but Mr. Chipman ultimately got one large lot from the two smaller lots he originally purchased. All of the other lots in that area are of the smaller size. Mr. Chipman already has a house on the southern parcel. The request to split the lot would result in two lots of the same size as all the rest in that area. Therefore, the Commission is recommending approval of the request. They did not know whether park dedication fees would be required or not. Wallace Chipman - stated he wants to sell the vacant lot. He purchased the lots ln 1970. Council felt the area was divided by metes and bounds and that no park dedication was paid for any of that area. It was also felt that because the lot was combined through no actions of his own and the request is simply to restore what Mr. Chipman had originally purchased, park dedication fees would not be required in this instance. Mr. Schrantz noted there is a drainage problem in that area which should be considered should anyone apply for a building permit on the vacant lot. If a house is built, it should be higher than the existing house on the parcel. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, that we approve the request for a lot split for Wallace Chipman as referred by the Planning Commission and to waive the park ,I dedication fee because Mr. Chipman originally purchased it as two lots, it was combined through no act of his own, and now this is simply going back to what he originally purchased. (See Resolution R137-85) Motion carried unanimously. FRANK PADULA REZONING Chairman Jacobson reviewed the Frank Padula rezoning request of a 2\-acre lot in a residential area across from the deli and liquor store to Neighborhood Business. Mr. Padula would like to provide space for a library and two other businesses. Between those at the public hearing and those commenting on the proposal in writing, the Commission received about half and half in favor as opposed. Those in favor were further away from the specific property; those opposed lived closer to it. Mr. Jacobson explained the Planning Commission is recommending denial of the request. They are not opposed to the concept of a library in that location, but they are concerned about that piece of land being zoned Neighborhood Business and the types of businesses that would be allowed if the library didn't go there. Mr. Jacobson stated they also dealt with the fact that across the street Mr. Padula owns about two acres that is properly zoned where the library could be located. But Mr. Padula reported the Library Board did not want that property because it is felt it would be dangerous for the library to be in an industrial area. ~. Jacobson stated the Planning Commission didn't feel that was a proper reason for not putting it there. Mr. Jacobson continued one other way of being able to provide a building for library purposes only would be through a conditional use permit which would allow the building to be only used as a library. And the permit would expire if the library ceased to function in that location. r1r. Padula did not want to do that because he felt he needed the two retail shops on either side to make the venture economical. Frank Padula - stated the opposition of locating the library on the other property he õwned across the street is because of the liquor store next to it. He stated that is not feasible. Regular City Council Meeting November 5, 1985 - Minutes Page 3 (Frank Padula Rezoning, Continued) John Baucom, Crooked Lake Boulevard - felt the permit should be denied because of the liquor store ln that area, which will draw away from that type of educational fad I ity. He also felt that even at the location proposed, it is too close to the liquor store and that is why it is being denied. Mr. Padula - explained the normal lease from the Library Board is for five years. They have the option of renewing at the end of that five-year period. He stated just to build a 1600-square-foot building for the library would be economic suicide. With the building being proposed of 3,200 square feet, if the library wished to expand, it could go to either side. Also, the Library Board does not want a food establishment next to the library facility; so he is proposing the other businesses to be like a real estate office. One person has already contacted him interested in the sale of musical instruments and lesson studio in that location. The Library Board has told him they like this location because it is at the intersection of two county roads. Mayor Windschitl explained the Library Board has budgeted approximately $70,000 for a north library site opening next year. There are two cities being considered. Mr. Padula is the only person he knows of who has actively pursued this for the City of Andover. Mr. Padula - explained there would be some economics for him to construct the larger bUlldlng at this time and to rent out the two ends until such time as the library would expand. Chairman Jacobson noted the Ham Lake library is located in a shopping center where there is a lot of traffic and a liquor store in that area. He also noted the library located in the Pioneer Village shopping mall, feeling the location in the already zoned Industrial Area would be acceptable. He again stated the concern was not with the two businesses next to the library but with the designation to Neighborhood Business and the uses that could arise if the library venture does not materialize. They felt this would be spot zoning and that the library could be located in that area already zoned for commercial. Mayor Windschitl explained the Library Board looks at the initial size of the library and for space available for expansion, ultimately preferring a total of 4,000 square feet for the facility. Councilman Knight favored the location of a library in that location but was concerned with what could happen in the future once it is designated Neighborhood Business. He didn't want to see it end !up being an industrial corner. Mayor Windchitl felt the options of the Council were either to deny the request, approve it, or contract rezone the parcel dictating specifically what uses the Council felt would be appropriate on that corner. In that way, the objectional uses allowed in that zone could be eliminated. Councilman Orttel suggested the property be rezoned to limited Business, which would eliminate the Tom Thumb stores, etc. The Mayor felt the Council is faced with looking at the value of the library to the community and felt the contract rezoning could be a reasonable method of obtaining that library. There was some discussion as to the economics of the sHuëtion and why the library itself would not be economical for Mr. Padula. Mr. Padula - stated normally once a library is in a location it does not move unless lt lS to a larger place. Nancy Carlson, Uplander Street - stated for herself and the other members of the communlty, she felt there lS a real need for a library in Andover. She would like to see this go through. She also stated that the day of the Planning Commission meeting, she had at least 15 people call to the City Hall expressing their desire to see this go through. ~ Regular City Council Meeting November 5, 1985 - Minutes Page 4 (Frank Padula Rezoning, Continued) Mike Pallow, 16071 Narcissus - didn't feel the issue was the library. He was not opposed to the Ilbrary. But he did not want to see any businesses there, especially knowing with the rezoning that they could move in at any time. Even with the contract rezoning, he felt that could be changed at any time. When he purchased his property, he made sure it was zoned residential; and that is the way he wants it to stay. He felt there is a lot of other land across the street which could be used for the library. This would be right next to his back door adjoining his property, and he is totally against it. Mr. Baucman - felt the consideration of contract rezoning should be presented to the people in that area to see how they think about it. Council discussion noted the residents of the surrounding area were notified of the public hearing and that only a small number were in attendance at the public hearing. Chairman Jacobson stated basically those residents living closer to the property in question opposed it; those living farther away were in favor. Ms. Carlson - felt the library provides a community service. The opinions= of the entlre community should be considered, not only those in the immediate area. Mr. Baucman - stated the funding for and benefit from this facility comes from the entlre community. He felt the Council would be more satisfied with a decision that has been sent back to a committee for re-evaluation and possibly get more than one suggestion on the matter. Ron (?) - is not opposed to the library but worries about getting something in there that shouldn't be there. He also worries about the property not bei:ng kept up, asking how that can be guaranteed. He doesn't want to see a junkyard there. He asked what kind of building will be put up. Council noted the architectural drawings and layout provided by Mr. Padula. Mr. Pallow - stated the library isn't the issue. It's the other two businesses that seem to be overlooked. The issue is three businesses that could become anything in years to come. Mayor Windschitl reviewed the economics of size argued by Mr. Padula. He didn't think the Council would be considering the request if it weren't for the library issue, but the City is trying to find a location in an attempt to have a library located in Andover. Mr. (?) - stated he would like to see better plans than that. What type of siding will lt be? He stated it looks like a pole barn. Mr. Padula - stated it is a stucco building. Councilman Lachinski felt the condltlonal use permit would not be the best procedure because if the lease for the library were cancelled, an empty building would be left there. He felt it would be more acceptable to rezone it but limit the uses to those of medical or professional type and office space. He would be opposed to any retail shopping on that corner. Councilman Elling preferred to designate the location for a library only at this time. If the lease is not renewed at the end of five years, the Council can deal with it at that time and look at possibly rezoning it then if necessary. After further discussion on the proposals, the following motion was made: MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Orttel, in an effort to attract a public library to the location in question, that we approve a contract rezoning which would allow for the use of the property for professional purposes including a public library, contingent upon an agreement with the Library Board of a five-year lease for a library to be signed, and the building size not to exceed 4,000 square feet. Uses allowed in the professional categories as referred in the ordinance for medical, office and studios. Regular City Council Meeting November 5, 1985 - Minutes Page 5 (Frank Padula Rezoning, Continued) DISCUSSION: Councilman Knight opposed increasing the size of the building to 4,000 square feet when the proposal has been for 3,200 square feet. Council a I so discussed with Mr. Pallow his concerns over the rezoning, noting the contract would basically restrict the uses of that~property to two permitted uses. Mr. Pa llow' s point was that that use could change whenever the City chooses to change It. He acquired the property because it is zoned residential behind him. If it would have been neighborhood business, he would not have purchased it. Now the City wants to change that zoning. Limiting the uses for now still changes the zoning, and he felt that the uses allowed could be changed again in the future, that nothing is guaranteed. He was also told when building his house that he couldn't have his driveway onto 161st; and now that is being changed for this situation. He expressed his frustration with the entire matter and the fact that he is the one most affected by this issue. Council argued it would be a library for five years; and if the lease is not renewed, it would be used for other activities that do not generate a lot of activity. It was also noted that the review committee would require screening, etc. Mr. Padula - stated the Library Boards wants the driveway off 161st and wants a rear entrance. Councilman Lachinski CHANGED the Motion to: 3,400 feet maximum and that the screening to be provided must be approved by the Council. Second Stands. DISCUSSION CONTINUED: Council discussed the location of the building on the parcel requesting that it be located as close to the corner of the lot as possible. Mr. Padula had no problem with that. He also noted the Library Board wants to see~ bUllding up and wants to lease it in March. The funds are available, and the locations being considered are in Andover and the City of Ramsey. He stated if no retail is allowed, would that eliminate the sale of musical instruments. Council discussed the definition of "studio" and what specifically would be allowed. Mr. Schrantz noted there is no definition for studio in Ordinance 8, but reviewed a definition as set out by a guide for writing ordinance. Council stated Mr. Padula would have to make the determination as to whether or not he would agree to the contract rezoning. VOTE ON MOT! ON: YES-Knight, Lachinski, Orttel Windschitl; NO-Elling Motion carried. Councilman Elling stated for the record he is in favor of the library but didn't want to go with the contract rezoning. He would rather have handled it on a conditional use permit basis. Councilman Knight stated he voted in favor of the rezoning with the understanding that it would be nonretail. Discussion continued with Mr. Padula as to what would be allowed. Mr. Padula stated he does have someone very interested in a musical instrument sales store and also providing music lessons. The attorney felt the sale of musical instruments is a retail business and not allowed per the motion. Councilman Orttel thought there was some provision in the ordinance that would allow for such a business in conjunction with lessons being provided if the retail was 20 percent of the activity.. Council asked that Mr. Padula give the motion some further consideration. This item will be discussed again at the November 19 Regular Meeting. Council recessed at 9:12; reconvened at 9:25 p.m. -- . - ~ Regular City Council Meeting November 5, 1985 - Minutes Page 6 GROUNDWATER HEAT PUMP ORDINANCE Chairman Jacobson reviewed the Commission's recommendation to approve the ordinance, noting as it is now written they have received no negative comments regarding the language or provisions in the ordinance. Mayor Windschitl stated someone who is familiar with groundwater heat pumps has suggested the ordinance include a provision indicating the well should be large enough to handle the groundwater heat pump. Council agreed to add at the end of Section 1: There shall be proof of sufficient well capacity. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, that we adopt Ordinance No. 73, an ordinance regulating the installation of water-fed heat éxtractors and water-fed air conditioning equipment as amended this evening. Motion carried unanimously. LICENSED DAY CARE - HOME ZONING ORDINANCE MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Orttel, to refer the issue of Licensed Day Care - Home Zoning Ordinance to the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Orttel, to refer back to the Planning and Zoning Commlssion modification of Ordinance 40, and Ordinance 8 and 8M for filing fees, to propose changes regarding the recording fee charges from the county for lot splits and variance. Motion carried unanimously. WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS/TELEMETERING SYSTEMS John Davidson of TKDA reviewed his October 24, 1985, letter regarding the Water System Improvements Telemetering System. The costs are about $53,000 greater than projected at the time of the feasibility report. But he felt that what has been assessed and the anticipated lower bid costs for the extension of the watermain would offset this increase. He then explained the telemetering system to be placed in the Public Works Building to monitor the water system. The monitoring unit would have a lockable safety cover on it located inside the west door under the stairway of the building. It is a telephone system. Council discussed locating the monitoring unit in the pumphouse instead. Mr. Davidson and Mr. Schrantz felt it could be more closely monitored from the Public Works Building. Council also questioned the expense of using a telephone system. Mr. Davidson agreed to have an alternate to the telephone line drawn up for consideration. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Elling, to authorize TKDA to prepare the Plans and Speclfications for the Water System Telemetering System. (See Resolution R138-85) Motion carried unanimously. SURVEY REQUIREMENTS/BUILDING PERMITS Council and the Building Official, David Almgren, discussed Mr. Almgren's October 28 memo requesting that standard lot surveys be made a part of the building permit application for principle structures on all lots except 2~ acres or greater. Mr. Almgren explained there generally is no problem with the location of a house on the larger lot sizes. But on the smaller lots there is the problem with encroachment. He preferred that this be made a part of the building permit process. The surveyor would be staking the property so there is less chance of error when locating the house. Regular City Council Meeting November 5, 1985 - Minutes Page 7 (Survey Requirements/Building Permits, Continued) Council generally did not want to require that additional expense for all building permits but felt the Building Official should have the authority to request the survey if he feels there could be a problem. It was also noted that it is the' contractor's responsibility to see that the location of the structure is within the setbacks required. A suggestion was to have a statement on the Building Permit that it is the responsibility of the builder to see that the house is properly located to all setback requirements and recommending that it be surveyed and staked. The Mayor also suggested requiring plats to be staked at the setback lines which may also alleviate these types of problems. CHANGE ORDER/SIPE/SEWER AND WATER MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that we approve Change Order for Project 8S-7, Northglen Sth Addition, to allow the installation of water and sanitary sewer to the Sipes property on Round Lake Boulevard and South Coon Creek Drive to be known as Project 85-16, the amount not to exceed $19,300. Motion carried unanimously. CREEKRIDGE PLAT Mayor Windschitl stated the developer of the Creekridge plat has met with resistance from the Planning Commission and staff, asking for Council direction at this point. He understands the plat has been completely reworked from the sketch plan approved by the Council. He understands the question of a service road on the south side of South Coon Creek Drive has been raised and that the lots on the north side have been reworked to face on interior streets. The developer was told by the Council at the sketch plan level that it would be acceptable to face the lots on South Coon Creek Drive. Also the Park Board has asked for a specific piece of property for the park; but the Planning Commission has opposed that location. Mr. Schrantz explained in his review of preliminary plats, he goes through the ordinances, raising points that need to be addressed. He felt in the process, the plan now being proposed by the developer is better than the sketch plan. All he is trying to do is raise questions to the developer in an attempt to get the best layout possible. There are also disadvantages of having the Park Board look at the plat prior to receiving all the information such as flood hazards, etc. The Park Board is looking at the plat again. He asked at what point should the Park Board and Staff be commenting on proposed plats. Council generally agreed that in this instance it would allow lots to face on an MSA street because of the existing houses already doing so in that area. A suggestion was made that specific criteria for exiting onto MSA streets should be established. Mr. Schrantz stated the developer needs to realize that there is no parking on that street, which affects the property owners who would build along that street. Council agreed the Park Board has authority to designate where parkland is desired; and they should be making that decision based on the preliminary plat, not the sketch plan. Council also stated they did not want a service road on the south side of South Coon Creek Drive in this plat. It was also agreed that the Staff should make general comments regarding the sketch plan when it comes in and point out those items that are of concern for Council consideration prior to the preliminary plat stage. WATER BILLING Mr. Schrantz stated the Council approved a quarterly base charge for water billing, plus the rate of $5 and 82¢/thousand. The question is whether that base charge is collected over and above the minimum charge of $5 or whether the minimum charge is to be not more than $7. The interpretation to date has been to collect the minimum charge of $5 plus the quarterly base rate of $7, for a total of $12 minimum charge. Regular City Council Meeting November 5, 1985 - Minutes Page 8 (Water Billing, Continued) Council agreed the intent was the minimum amount collected would be not more than $7 and also agreed to give credit for the overcharge of $5 where applicable. COLD STORAGE BUILDING Council generally felt the electrical bids for the Cold Storage Building were still high, but it was felt the conduit should be placed in the ground prior to the frost and should be done so by the Staff. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by lachinski, that we authorize the City Staff to begin trenching to put conduit in from the main building out to the Cold Storage building and to prepare an outline of the various bids for the completion of the rest of the work. VOTE ON MOTION: YES-Knight, Lachinski, Orttel, Windschitl; ABSTAIN-Elling Motion carried. COON CREEK WATERSHED/MEETING ON PERMIT PROCEOURES Discussion noted many of the items the Coon Creek Watershed has listed under their control are already under the control of the City, and it is not desirable to have another governmental body regulating the items such as sanitary sewers, roads, streets, shoreline setbacks, etc. They questioned what authority the Watershed Board has to regulate these items. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Lachinski, that we meet with the Coon Creek Watershed Board on the 25th of November at their meeting at the Activity Center. Motion carried unanimously. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Knight, that we approve $500 to consult with an attorney relative to the costs involved in setting up a Tax Increment Financing District. Motion carried unanimously. CITY CLERK/TREASURER JOB DESCRIPTION RESOLUTION The following changes were agreed to from the prepared Resolution: 1.02, 5) The Clerk/Treasurer shall supervise and train all clerical employees, perform various clerical tasks such as typing, answering inquiries by telephone, in person, or in writing. 10) The Clerk/Treasurer shall, with the Council's consent, appoint a deputy clerk for whose acts he is responsible. At the direction of the Clerk/ Treasurer, the deputy clerk may perform any of the duties of the clerk, including but not limited to attendance at special City Council meetings such as Board of Review and public hearings. 11) The Clerk/Treasurer shall assist in the preparation of the City Council Agenda and shall, at his/her discretion or at the discretion of the City Administrator or the City Council, attend other committee and commission meetings. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Lachinski, to approve the Resolution establishing the Job Description of the City Clerk/Treasurer as corrected. (See Resolution R139-85) Motion carried unanimously. Council agreed to screen all applicants for the position and interview three to five candidates. ~ Regular City Council Meeting November 5, 1985 - Minutes Page 9 SONSTEBY LAWSUIT Mr. Hawkins stated on the day of the trial there were discussions between the attorneys and the Court on the County's proposal to put in the rerouting of County Road 116 through the area, which will take care of some of the drainage. It was agreed to by all parties that such construction would eliminate the question of a permanent taking of property from Ms. Sonsteby. The trial was then continued until February sOlely on the issue of any temporary taking, any damages that may have resulted if there was water that temporarily followed onto her property; and if so, how much. So the only issue at this time is that of possible damages. APPROVAL OF CLAIMS The Attorney was directed to inform TKDA that the City would like to hold the bills regarding the Sonsteby lawsuit until there is a final outcome to the trial. Counc il agreed not to pay that portion of the TKDA bill relating to the lawsuit. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Elling, that we approve Claims Numbered 10209 through 10295 with the exception of 10293 for a total amount of $242,484.21. Motion carried unanimously. COUNTY BILLING FOR RECORDING FEES MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight that we authorize the City Staff to charge recording fees on all items on which the City is charged recording fees. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachinski, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 11:20 p.m. Respectfully submitted, \\~~~~pS~:<"\ Ê~c~_ L.
